I’m Guillotina — the only Black drag performer in Cambridge.

​

I’m that person who got called the N-Word in a McDonalds by a bunch of Cambridge students, and whose first response was to post a reel about it. 

I’ve performed pretty much everywhere across town: Cambridge Junction, The Blue Moon, The Lock-On, even Cambridge May Balls (which, after this, will probably never happen again).

​

You can describe my drag as… unique. I don’t really fit into being a drag queen, or a drag king, or even a drag “thing.” But that’s probably because of how whitewashed the drag landscape is here.

​

I’m not a student; I’m not even a theatre kid. I’m just some 24-year-old who works a 9–5. 

​

I moved to Cambridge because of work. I used to live in London until I was 22. ​I have no contact with any family, they disowned me for being queer.

​​

So I thought Cambridge would be a fresh start for — a place where I could be understood by people who’d been through similar things.

 

That obviously wasn't the case, since I started this movement.
